autoresearch-create
Set up and run an autonomous experiment loop for any optimization target. Gathers what to optimize, then starts the loop immediately. Use when asked to "run autoresearch", "optimize X in a loop", "set up autoresearch for X", or "start experiments".

# Autoresearch
Autonomous experiment loop: try ideas, keep what works, discard what doesn't, never stop.
## Tools
- **`init_experiment`** — configure session (name, metric, unit, direction). Call again to re-initialize with a new baseline when the optimization target changes.
- **`run_experiment`** — runs command, times it, captures output.
- **`log_experiment`** — records result. `keep` auto-commits. `discard`/`crash`/`checks_failed` auto-reverts code changes (autoresearch files preserved). Always include secondary `metrics` dict. Dashboard: ctrl+shift+t.
## Session files
All session files live in a single `.auto/` subfolder at the working directory root. This keeps everything in one place — easy to preserve across reverts, gitignore, and clean up.
